Moore fils did quite nicely, becoming one of the most celebrated sculptors of his century and a man whose works, often large and full of holes, have sold for as much as $260,000. To kick off celebrations for his 80th birthday, London's Tate Gallery last week invited Moore and 80 of his special friends to dinner and proudly showed off a prize acquisition: 36 Moore sculptures donated by the artist.
